One of the ATTO ultra320SCSI PCI cards might allow you to boot from an external HD.
Go to Google and first try typing and adding "UL 2D" then "UL3D." There are other ATTO "Ultra" PCI cards that might also work but they might be too expensive. I was using a G4 DA (partitioned with OS 10.4.11 and 10.2.8) with a 2906 PCI card which allowed me to read/write to an external SCSI HDs but would not allow me to boot from those drives. After I replaced that with an ATTO UL2D, I could boot from those SCSI external drives.
